The City of White Rock will revisit Council’s Strategic Priorities to ensure the future needs of the community are met during and after the COVID-19 global pandemic.
City Council voted July 27 to host workshops in September 2020 to make any needed changes to its key directions.
Council adopted an innovative approach that provides real-time progress on major priorities using a dashboard and quarterly updates on the City’s website. The strategic priorities snapshot taken using the tool, Cascade, shows a 50-per-cent completion of Council’s Strategic Priorities 2018-2022 in less than two years.
Council’s current strategic priorities include:
- Official Community Plan Review
- Relationship with Semiahmoo First Nation
- Water Community Advisory Panel
- Multi-family and Commercial Waste Pickup
- Economic Development Strategies
- Parking Task Force
- Marine Drive Task Force
- Zoning Bylaw Review
- Council Policy and Bylaw Review
- Other priorities, including the Community Amenity Contributions review
- Advocacy, including the Whistle Cessation Program on (Burlington Northern Sante Fe) BNSF Railway.
